Well now you've changed the requirements. Your original statement only mentioned serving from a NAS not specifically about serving from a NAS via SMB. Serving from NAS over HTTP or Plex works fine for me.
SMB on the NAS is also a, "remote agent off of the player unit", if you want to get technical about it. Turning on HTTP on the NAS (at least for the one I am using) was no easier or harder than turning on SMB. There is no server piece to Roxsbox as there is for Plex except a simple httpd.
But yeah, there is no built in client for either SMB or HTTP. Adding one for HTTP isn't rocket science but evidently it bothers you more than it bothers me. To each his own.
